CHICAGO -- D-backs third-base coach Matt Williams was impressed with the way Cubs pitcher Jeff Samardzija threw the ball Saturday night, but the former All-Star was not pleased with the way Samardzija handled himself.

Williams and Samardzija appeared to have words as Williams jogged off the field following the third out of an inning.

According to Williams, Samardzija yelled at him, "What are you looking at?"

Williams said he replied, "I'm not looking at you."

"I have no idea," Williams said when asked why Samardzija would say that to him. "I didn't say a word to the man and I don't have any respect for that. I have no respect for him showing somebody up on the field."
